What Our Editors Thought

Lime soda on the nose, but the shocking magenta creates a beautiful cognitive dissonance. The sip pulls off a magic trick—simultaneously sweet yet dry, bold yet restrained. It’s cleverly constructed without feeling forced.

What Our Panel Thought

Limeade. Cherry limeade in the radiant pink color without the cherry in the aroma and flavor, but a faint floral note. Aroma lands with a touch of complementary acetic-acid notes and a pungent lime. Flavor matches the aroma but heads further down the path with the lime character—verging on the squeeze-bottle lime from the grocery store with no expiration date. The hibiscus drives the deep pink color and a nice floral finish. The carb level is medium, and there is a just a touch of sweetness to counter the tannins from the tea/hibiscus, keeping the drinkability high. Nicely done although some might prefer a more lactic tartness over the acetic.

What the Brewers Say

A brilliant red brew with hibiscus flowers and a tart twist of lime. Gluten free, vegan, 0 sugar, live cultures.
